The book features totally 133 projects from all around globe and is about how ‘handmade’ is being used in graphic design. As the Amazon review’s introductory text reports: “For many designers, creating things by hand is a reaction to too much computer-based design. Fingerprint 2 reflects the evolution of those ideas. It presents  plenty of boutique projects created entirely without the aid of computer technology. But it also discovers how designers are beginning to incorporate the two aesthetics—handmade and digital—in order to best communicate their message.  Listen for the pulse, which cannot be faked, forged, or falsified. Look for the finger print. It is the key to design’s success.”

So our poster Booktiga 2009 found itself in the company of some of the world’s most important design names such as Landor Associates (OH), Taxi Studio (UK), or Sagmaister Inc (NY)…
